She lives in Boston, Massachusetts, where she has an older brother called Jared. He is 29 and he is older than Marissa. Jared is studing because he wants to be a lawyer. Her mother is called Lydia and she is retired, but before she worked with special needs children, her father is called louis and he is a lawyer.

Marissa has come to Spain a lot of times, but the first one was when she was only six years old. She likes travelling a lot, she has travelled to more than 70 countries, but she would like to go to Asia, for example, to Thailand, to Japan, etc. She likes travelling a lot because she meets people and learns about new cultures.
